“You know that old phrase about April showers? Lava Mae, the innovative program to turn old Muni buses into shower stalls for homeless people, is giving it a whole new meaning.

The nonprofit put its first bus on the road in July and has had such great success that its second bus is being retrofitted and should be on the road in April (May at the latest). April 4 will also see the nonprofit host its first big fundraiser, dubbed the Un-Gala, in which partygoers are encouraged to wear wetsuits, raincoats or yellow wellie boots.”
